Microneedling with worldleading SkinPen^® Precision

Microneedling is a popular natural treatment method in aesthetic medicine used to improve skin texture and quality. This minimally invasive technique involves treating the skin with the finest needles to create superficial micro-injuries. This process stimulates the natural regeneration of the skin and boosts the production of collagen and elastin. The effect: improved skin firmness, reduction of impurities and pigmentation disorders, and smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles. The skin-tightening effect arises from the 100% natural process of self-regeneration, entirely free of artificial additives. Besides facial rejuvenation, microneedling can also be used to treat scars from surgeries and acne.

The Microneedling

Microneedling relies on the skin’s natural ability to regenerate itself. Through targeted micro-injuries using the finest needles, natural repair mechanisms are activated, leading to the production of skin components such as collagen and elastin. These substances are the cornerstones of our skin structure and are present in high concentrations in youthful skin. At Cosmetic Surgery Zurich, we use the SkinPen^® Precision Pro by Crown Aesthetics – the first microneedling device to receive FDA approval due to its proven efficacy in an official, study-based approval process.

How Microneedling Works

The increased collagen production due to micro-injuries leads to firmer and smoother skin, while elastin provides more firmness and elasticity. These processes result in improved and tighter skin structure naturally. The effects include skin tightening, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, especially in the face, improving skin texture and eliminating impurities, treating acne scars, refining large pores, evening out pigment differences, and even improving and flattening scar tissue after surgeries.

The Treatment

Microneedling treatment at Cosmetic Surgery Zurich is minimally invasive and not painful. The skin can be numbed with a cream if necessary. The treatment starts with the least needle penetration depth, which is then gradually increased and adjusted to the individual skin conditions. Typically, three microneedling sessions are recommended for facial rejuvenation, but the treatment can be repeated as often as needed based on your skin condition, initial situation, and aesthetic goals. The treatment duration is usually 45-60 minutes, depending on the application area and the number of regions treated. ​

Combining microneedling with PRP treatment is also possible for hair loss or facial rejuvenation, enhancing the skin’s preparation. The natural skin regeneration activated by microneedling amplifies the effect of the administered PRP, boosting the tightening and regenerative effects on the skin or hair.

After the Treatment

Mild side effects may be experienced, such as slight local discomfort because of redness, swelling, tightness, itching, and rarely mild pain at the injection sites. These symptoms usually disappear within the first 24 hours. As the procedure uses no artificial additives, no incompatibilities are expected.

Due to the gentle nature of microneedling for skin rejuvenation, there is no real downtime, and you can usually resume social activities within 24 hours. Avoid makeup, direct sun exposure, and sports for 24 hours. Light rest and cooling on the treatment day can also enhance comfort.

For optimal and lasting results, three initial treatments for most facial areas are recommended, spaced about 4 weeks apart to allow sufficient time for the skin’s regeneration processes.

For hair loss treatment with microneedling, 1-3 treatments are recommended based on the initial condition before continuing with PRP therapy.

When Are Microneedling Results Visible?

Since it is a purely natural, autologous process of skin rejuvenation, the timeframe for visible results depends on individual factors and life circumstances. Typically, the first effects become visible after about 4 weeks and intensify over subsequent treatments. The skin appears firmer, smoother, and fine lines in the face or hands are significantly reduced.

For hair loss treatment with microneedling in combination with PRP, microneedling serves as a skin preparation before starting PRP therapy.
